Quotes 

• Supergirl : I've made up my mind. You can't convince me to change it.

  J'onn J'onzz : I know you better than that. Just don't let him bring you down.

  Supergirl : Manchester got you, didn't he? At the prison.

  J'onn J'onzz : All I've wanted to do since my father died is honor him. Live by his example.

  Supergirl : And you have.

  J'onn J'onzz : But I'm struggling, Kara. There's a duality in me that's at war. I want to be a man of peace, just like my father, but every fiber of my being is fighting against that. Being a Manhunter was part of my nature.

  Supergirl : Are you considering picking back up the sword?

  J'onn J'onzz : I made a personal vow I wouldn't take that lightly.

  Supergirl : Well, if you choose to join the fight to bring the Elite to justice, I'm sure your father would understand. Even M'yrnn joined the fight against Reign.

  J'onn J'onzz : Manchester is baiting me. We're connected somehow. I think he can feel the rage that lies within me. The rage born of the massacre of my family. One thing's for certain, Manchester was a test for me. But whether he's a test of my resolve or just a mirror showing me that I cannot walk my father's path, I just don't know.

  Supergirl : You will find clarity, J'onn. I know you will.

• Manchester Black : How did you know we were coming?

  Supergirl : Fish and chips and tracking devices.

  [flashback to their meeting in England] 

  Supergirl : This ends now.

  Menagerie : You're still outnumbered.

  J'onn J'onzz : [Brainy and Dreamer enter]  Count again.

  Hat : Who's this, then?

  Supergirl : You have the Elite. I have super friends.

• J'onn J'onzz : It's been weeks. And now you agree to see me? Why now?

  Manchester Black : Well, let's just say prison has changed me. So, be honest.

  [referring to his dyed-purple new look:] 

  Manchester Black : Whatcha think of the hair?

• Querl Dox : [J'onn and Kara land in the Fortress]  What is it? What's wrong?

  J'onn J'onzz : Pull up the footage.

  Supergirl : This is live. Rio.

  Manchester Black : We want to send a message.

  Menagerie : Low angle? Are you insane?

• Manchester Black : Every action has an opposite and equal, yeah? This "Earth first" Liberty crowd, they hurt aliens. And what, they don't think we'll hurt them in kind?

  J'onn J'onzz : That's London.

  Querl Dox : And it looks like they stole the Crown Jewels to make a bigger statement.

  Manchester Black : Why? 'Cause Supergirl says that's not the way? Supergirl's like a folk tale. In theory, comforting, noble. In reality, oof, ill-equipped and clinging to ideals of a time long past. When they go low, she goes high. We put them six feet lower. We're through giving these devils the benefit of the law. Supergirl's done. This is the era of the Elite.

• J'onn J'onzz : Look, you lost someone. I know how that feels. Let me help you.

  Manchester Black : You think I'm good deep down, eh? Well, it's a bad time to be a good man. Take you, for instance. If it weren't for your bloody promise, I believe you could solve all the world's problems. You just need... motivation.

  [behind J'onn, Hat shoots him with an energy weapon] 

  Manchester Black : This is Hat. We go way back.

  Hat : 'Ello.

  J'onn J'onzz : Why are you doing this?

  Manchester Black : I wanted to thank you in person. I was thinking small. Hell-bent on getting Lockwood. Petty revenge. But I've got bigger fish to murder. And you can't stop me, old man.

  J'onn J'onzz : Don't do this.

  Manchester Black : Thanks for the chat, mate. Cheered me right up.

• Manchester Black : You know all those alien-hating racists been comin' out of their hidey holes? We're gonna make 'em dead. Right, then.

  J'onn J'onzz : Manchester!

  [as Supergirl advances on them, the Elite vanish in a puff of smoke] 

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm gonna find them.

  Supergirl : Not without me.

• J'onn J'onzz : I've seen hats like that before. They use fifth-dimensional energy. Untraceable.

• J'onn J'onzz : You cannot trust him. It'll be a trap.

  Supergirl : Wouldn't be the first one I've walked into.

  Nia Nal : He didn't even say where to meet.

  Supergirl : That flash at the end of the message had an image coded in it. A map only I could see.

  Querl Dox : Superliminal stimuli embedded in structured light. I don't want to be impressed, but...

  J'onn J'onzz : Where does he want to meet?

  Supergirl : Manchester, England. Guess he wanted home court advantage.

  J'onn J'onzz : How long 'till dawn?

  Querl Dox : Three hours, 21 minutes, 15 seconds.

  Supergirl : So we wait. And then I'll deal with them.

• Manchester Black : [as J'onn beats on him]  Ah... there you, J'onn J'onzz. Nice to finally meet you.

  J'onn J'onzz : I know why you called me now. You have a death wish.
